We're Gonna Take Our Country Back

So I hear we're gonna take our country back
Yeah back from a Brussel's bureaucrat
Coz we love democracy and all that
Think accountability is where it's at

But see when we take our country back
Back from a Brussel's bureaucrat
Coz on accountability we're so keen
What we gonna do about Her Majesty the Queen?
What we gonna do about Her Majesty the Queen?

And see when we take our country back
Yeah back from a Brussel's bureaucrat
And give all power to the great British hordes
What we gonna do about the House of Lords?
What we gonna do about the House of Lords?

And see when we take our country back
Yeah back from a Brussel's bureaucrat
And on every border post a sentry
What we gonna do about the landed gentry?
What we gonna do about the landed gentry?

Now don't get me wrong, I don't love the EU
But it seems to me we haven't thought this through
Coz if we wanna take our country back
It may be we need a different line of attack
Coz if you think I'll follow fools like Farage
And believe all of Boris's bullshit barrage
Only buy my petrol from a BP garage
That ain't England's dreaming mate, that's a mirage

And my rage is complete
When I learn that immigrants are getting hassled in the street
Coz was it immigrants who ran the services down?
Was it immigrants who moved the jobs out of town?
Was it immigrants who didn't build council homes?
And made us all dependent on loans?

No.
Immigrants came and put the country back together
Coz we asked them to, then, like the worst host ever
Gave them a whole load of racist blether
Said they did things that we knew they'd never
While they care for us from the cradle to grave
Make the music to which we rave
Score the goals that no one could save
And always take less than they gave

Oh, but don't let the truth get in the way of your tale
Coz I know your only parroting the Daily Mail
Which of course is always on the right side
Supported Moseley, Hitler and Apartheid
And it's the same vile bile screams from the front page
Wanna take us back to a bygone age
Which, in reality, never existed
And what did was so twisted
That you couldn't be gay or marry out of your religion
Have a baby out of wedlock and they'd put you in prison
Steal a loaf of bed because the system had failed ya
They put you on a boat that was bound for Australia

And who was it did that? Some EU arse?
No, that was our very own ruling class
And it's now with them you now want me to find a common cause
When all they've ever given us is austerity and wars
While protecting their own posterity with laws
Designed to enshrine an existing order
That turns every rich person into a hoarder

So, while children go hungry, and disabled people die
We're now supposed to cling to this lie
That we're all in it together and everything will be alright
If we just pull up the drawbridge and hold each other tight
We'll spend all our money on health care and our passports will be blue
And live happily ever after now we've left the EU

No
Because what's wrong with this country long pre-dates the Common Market
Of course we're all angry, but we're aiming at the wrong target
With our Dunkirk spirit, sense of fairplay, andlove of the underdog
Now tell me what has any of that got to do with Jacob Rees Mogg?
With Farage, Johnson, Duncan-Smith, Widdecombe and Arran Banks
Is that a Team GB you wanna be on? For my part I'll say no thanks
But if from them you wanna take the country, I won't stay ringside
Ring the bell, I'll fight like hell, and I will not be denied
But when you say you wanna take our country back
I'm sorry but I think you miss the fact
That no matter how much you love these shores
The truth is mate...it never was yours
